Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 35 years old and I have a 8 year old son. I've always enjoyed interacting with kids and caring for them. I know how hard it is to leave your children with a stranger so I always to make everyone feel comfortable and be that extra hand they count on. I was in the army reserves for a few years and have also worked in a pediatric dental office as an assistant and receptionist. My now ex husband joined the army and so we had to move around a bit but my son and I moved back to the Mundelein area. My mom was also a nanny and so I grew up going to work with her and found my own passion for helping families and followed in her footsteps. All the families we have worked for have become like family and most we still keep in touch after the kids have grown up. My son has been going to work with me since he was 1.5 years old and he loves it. It's like a playdate for him and the other children. He's very social and well mannered. My most recent work was for a family in Lincolshire who had 2 little girls ages 2.5 and 5 when I started. I was with the from Jan 2023-Aug 2024. Prior to them I was with a family in Texas who have 2 little girls. They were ages 2.5 years old and 5 months old when I started. I worked for a year with them. I have other references from Illinois as well. My son used to go to work with me and I was lucky to find families who were kind enough to allow that. Now he is in school all day so its not longer a neccesity but I still would like to find families who wouldnt mind if i needed to for all the random days off of school, however I know it's not for everyone so I would understand and have care for him. I've cared for all ages from 6 weeks old to 14 years. I've also worked in a daycare in the infant room and toddler room. Helping to care for 12-20 kids at once. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids and going outside. I have my own reliable car and am non smoking. I also enjoy taking care of pets so if you have any that's not a problem. I've dogsat for families as well. I've taken care of up to 4 kids at once alone. I also organize so if you need help with that I would love to. Updated availability!! Currently available Monday through Friday 9am-230pm. I could be available on the afternoon/evening as long as my son can come with some days. For the summer he would need to come with everyday. Ideally looking for something part time for the summer

Hi! My name is Chloe Coss I am currently a senior at Prairie Ridge and I am 100% going to McHenry county college next year I plan on getting my associates in forensics and photography and moving to Orlando and becoming a crime scene investigator. I love children and I've worked around them since I was 13 years old I love going to the gym and I love being around my friends and family. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’ve been around children since I was 13, and I find it really rewarding to build connections with them and be someone they feel comfortable with. Whether it’s playing games, helping with routines, or just making them smile, it’s something I truly enjoy doing.I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I babysat for a family with three kids (ages 3, 5, and 3 months), where I helped with daily care, playtime, and routines. I also worked at Jump Zone as a party host, where I supervised children and made sure they were safe while having fun. Most recently, I worked at 2 Hours of Freedom, where I continued supervising and interacting with kids in an active environment. These experiences helped me learn how to manage groups of children and adapt to different personalities and needs.I have strong communication and patience when working with children, and I’m good at staying calm and responsible in different situations. I’m experienced in supervising kids, keeping them safe, and creating fun activities for them. I’m also very reliable, organized, and comfortable handling multiple children at once. In addition, I stay active and energetic, which helps me keep up with kids and engage with them in a positive way.
